Was anyone else charged the whole amount for the PS3 Collector's Edition pre-order?

I was charged the whole amount directly to my credit card shortly after I pre-ordered. I thought they only charged you after they shipped...

Now I tried to cancel it so I can get it at a Canadian store, so I don't have to pay custom fees, but it said "No Refund Required. You have requested this order be cancelled. Because you have not yet submitted payment for this order, a refund is not needed. When the remaining items in your order are fulfilled, you will be billed for those items."

Basically, I'm kind of scared I won't get refunded. Just wondering if anyone else was charged the whole amount when they ordered.
